BPOV (Bella)

Prologue: (Bella is four years old)

"Cassie, where are you going?" I asked my best friend Cassade at the entrance of our orphanage. She had a suitcase of all her stuff carried in one hand and was waiting behind a couple of adults in the lobby. The man in front of her nodded and she walked slowly over to my side, frowning. "What's wrong?"

"I have to leave, Bella" she said sadly. I shook my head defiantly.

"But you can't go. We're best friends" I didn't want Cassade to leave the orphanage right now. She was the closest I had to family and it would break my heart to see her leave. She cracked a half-smile.

"We'll always be best friends, never forget that" it always amazed me how she knew how to pronounce English without any trouble.

"Will I ever see you again?" I felt to tears welling up in my eyelids.

"Of course. I promise. Don't cry, Bella" she wiped a tear off my eye and hugged me for a few seconds, then let go to face me. "My new step-parents are really nice people. They're gonna help me, that's why I need to go with them. But I'll always be with you, and you'll forever be in my heart" she slowly waved, her body half-turned as she walked back to the adults.

"Cassie, wait!" I was just about to run after her when Mrs. Plum, the caretaker, held me back gently from my waist. I took one last look at Cassade's pretty face and saw that she had tears running from her blue eyes, until she turned quickly and I all I could see was her glossy, black hair hanging off her shoulders.

It took me ten minutes to realize that kicking and screaming was no use, so I settled for sobbing into Mrs. Plum's arms. Her round body and thick arms were enough to comfort me.

I couldn't believe that Cassie was gone. I didn't want to let her go, I couldn't. She was that person I did everything with; from sharing bunk beds to toys. I hoped she would keep her promise, because I knew I would never forget her.

CPOV (Cassade)

I waited behind Carlisle and Esme at the counter in the lobby with my suitcase ready in my hand. I fidgeted with my black hair at the thought of saying goodbye to my best friend Bella. Esme, my new mother, seemed to notice my nervousness and hugged me to her awkwardly since I was barely up to her hip.

"Is everything okay?" she asked with the perfect amount of concern a four year-old should get. Once again I was spellbound by her maternal personality that made me all the more excited to join her family.

Firstly, I should say that I wouldn't be able to join any other family because I'm not even completely I'm a half/vampire, as I had just recently discovered. And I was joining a whole coven of my kind who is no doubt, marvelous. They seemed to accept me quite well. And secondly, I'm grateful that they found me so I could live in a way that wouldn't hurt humans.

It all started when I had been playing at the park with the whole foster family. I had become well-aware of my super-ability over regular people, so I'd tried lifting up a truck when I thought I was alone and succeeded. Turns out I wasn't alone, because Carlisle saw and started talking to me. He realized that I was like him but was surprised when I told about how I repressed myself from feeding off of humans for so long--I mean it's been four years. I decided to take me to his beautiful home and introduced me to his family. He showed me how they lived and that was the first time I went hunting--even though they tasted no better than regular food--and developed a taste for grizzly bears. So it was settled, they were going to adopt me.

I felt Esme's cold, strong arms nudge my sides which snapped me out of my reverie. "Honey?" she said.

"Umm…it's Bella. I don't want to leave her. She's my best friend" I responded, awed by how hard Esme's body was. She then took on a look of comprehension and kissed my forehead. "I'm sure she'll understand" she comforted though I could sense her pity for me.

I smelled Bella's scent getting closer and soon enough I saw her round up the corner looking from my suitcase to me, puzzled. "Cassie, where are you going?" she asked. Carlisle bobbed his head in my direction and I reluctantly walked over to her. "What's wrong?" she said growing anxious.

"I have to leave, Bella" I confessed. She shook her head, though I knew her for being stubborn.

"But you can't go. We're best friends" her voice cracked on the last word. I smiled reassuringly.

"We'll always be best friends. Never forget that" I said trying to prevent what was coming next.

"Will I ever see you again?" I smelled to salt water forming in her moist, brown eyes. Too late.

"Of course. I promise" her mouth pulled up into a pout the way she always did before the tears started flowing. "Don't cry, Bella" I wiped off a tear and hugged her as tight as I could without hurting her. "My new step-parents are really nice people. They're going to help me, that's why I need to go with them. But I'll always be with you, and you'll forever be in my heart" I couldn't explain to her everything. Carlisle had told me that we needed to keep our existence a secret. So I promised her the only thing I could; I would always be with her, whether she knew it or not.

I heard Esme murmur a "Let's go, sweetie" and started towards her, knowing any human ear wouldn't have heard. She carried me out on her side and I rested my chin on her shoulder. I turned my head swiftly as soon as I realized I was crying.

"Cassie, wait!" I heard Bella cry from behind as we exited the building.

"Goodbye, Bella" I whispered almost inaudibly.

BPOV (Bella) Chapter one

Ten years Later

I didn't think Charlie had the guts, but damn, he sure seems like it.

What kind of cruel and insensitive step-father would decide to move his only daughter to the last place on earth she would want to go? That's right. He's moving us three—me, my step-mom, and himself—from Phoenix to Forks, Washington.

Not only would I miss the incredibly high temperatures and umbrella-like palm trees, but the life and friends I had in Phoenix. It was where I grew up--and as much as I hate to bring it up to Charlie—it was my real parents lived. And I'd hate to leave the only part of my history behind.

Unfortunately, a job offer as a Chief police was more important to Charlie. So here I am, packing the last of my cardboard boxes into our white minivan.

I strapped myself in the backseat and turned on my ipod now-filled with emo rock, without saying a word to Charlie in the driver's seat. I glanced at Renee in the passenger seat; she was staring at the blue, cloudless sky through the windshield, completely silent. I wasn't the only one who resented Charlie for suddenly departing Phoenix.

Behind us was a large moving truck filled with the rest of our furniture, following us to dreaded and new Swan Residence.

I felt Charlie's eyes on me from the rearview mirror. "Oh please, Bella. Will you stop being melodramatic?" He was obviously referring to my talk-to-no-one-deppressed-goth-chic attitude. "I mean, the pay's good, we bought a nice, little house and it seems like a very stable place to live" he went on. Although he could've been speaking gibberish, I didn't care.

"…And there's this great dance school in the mains of Port Angelo" he said in the tone that can only be heard as attempted bribery.

Obviously it was an indiscriminate school Charlie had picked out because I didn't just dance, I performed Ballet—Classical Ballet. And seeing as he'd as much knew my passion for it, registering me in some random school seemed like a the perfect way to get me to like our new home. But there was a small, significant detail he was missing: no matter how much he tries to suck up or butter me up with material things, I will never be as happy as I was. But I wasn't making any plans to let him know that. He wasn't obligated to suffer with me. I figured I'd let live happily—and/if obliviously—when we reached Forks.

Finally, I peeled my eyes from the windshield and stared back at my step-dad. "Oh, okay. What's it called?" I said with strained enthusiasm.

He paused for a minute, and his forehead creased in concentration. At last he shrugged and said, "It was a really long name I can't seem to remember. Uh…Bello…Batre" he stammered.

"Balletomania" Renee said for the first time. "Oh honey, it's beautiful!" she exclaimed. "There's a grand staircase that leads to this amazing auditorium and the studios are just stunning".

"When did you guys see it?" Obviously they went without me because I don't recall viewing such a thing.

"Oh, last weekend when you spent it over at Grama's". I nodded in understanding. "There are also vocal and instrumental lessons in the same building. I know how you like to write your songs"

"Mom, it's not like I'm going to show them to the world" I waved my hands to accentuate the phrase. Music was like a diary to me. The last thing on my do to list is performing my compositions in front of a whole class.

"I know, I know. They are just lessons" she paused abruptly, as if the air was suddenly cut off from her. "But what you really gotta do is shop for a new wardrobe" I groaned. And for the rest of the ride I listened to my step-mom drone on and on about clothes and other subjects I would rather stick a needle in my eye than discuss.

CPOV (Cassade)

"Are we leaving yet? I'm starving" I said. Although I was alone in the living room, I knew the others could hear.

Emse appeared at the doorway with her perpetual smile in place. "Do you want me to fix you a sandwich, dear?" she asked with that soprano voice of hers.

I sighed. "No, I can wait" I replied. Human food was as bad as animal blood. "When are we leaving?" I asked, radically rubbing my stomach.

I heard Edward chuckle behind me as he entered. "Be patient. The others are just about ready to leave for the hunting trip" he sat down casually on the couture leather couch as he waited.

"'Just about' is not good enough" I complained defiantly. "It's bad enough I have to drink animal blood. Do you all have to make me wait for it too?"

Edward rolled his eyes. "You should be thankful that we're feeding off animals in Alaska instead of the usual elk around here" he pointed out.

"Yes! Go mountain lions" I said dryly.

Esme responded in a soft but stern voice. "That's enough, dear".

There was a loud clap—like thunder—at the doorway, and I turned just in time to see Emmett's hands slammed together. "All right" his eyes appraised the room now full of people; including Carlisle, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice. "Let's go get some grub!" he threw his terrifyingly massive arms into the air. I was just about to follow him as he and Edward filed out when loud shriek pierced the room.

"Cassade! I bought you those shoes yesterday" Alice pointed her skinny finger to my black stiletto heels. "You must be going mad if you think I'm going to let you go hunting in those. Haven't you learned anything over the years?"

"Yes" I responded. "Always keep at least a three-mile radius between you and Jasper when you're in…'the mood'" I said unabashedly as my second mother Rosalie, and Jasper tittered behind.

This is one of those times when no matter how small Alice may seem, the looks she gives me actually makes me want to cry.

"Honey, I think you'd better go change before Alice has a heart failure" Rosalie said.

Alice scoffed, "That's physically impossible".

I slowly stepped towards the stairs to my room, my body never turning from her. I placed my hands out in front of me as if she'd attack at moment, earning a few chuckles from my audience.

At the top of the stairs I heard the horn of the presumably expensive car outside and Edward's, "Let's go!"

I laughed evilly to my self. How's that for being patient, I thought knowing that Edward would hear with his mind-reading abilities.

I slipped into my blue flats to match my woven blouse and skinny jeans. I felt the warmth of the strip of light coming through my window on my bare arm. It glittered just slightly, not like the diamond-like sparkles that shine off of Alice's or Esme's skin. It wasn't even as hard; instead it was malleable and warmer than any normal human. Which makes me wonder…………?

Was there some sort of glitch inside me that made unlike others of my kind? Surely other vampires can't feed off sandwiches and soup; or grow at the rate of a speeding car. So what am I? And who created me?

These were the type of questions that haunted me al throughout my fourteen years of age. Where do I belong? Not that I would ever choose to live with anyone other then my loving family, but how long do I have to live--what with this fierce velocity aging? It was something everyone worried about constantly. Each day they could see the change in my growth.

Oh, and school! It starts a couple of days.

Crap.

I'm going into ninth grade and there is nothing worse high school boys with raging hormones. I've watched films about one-nighters and boys' pathetic attempts at picking up "chicks".

My brothers had insisted that I go to an all-girls private school, but I wouldn't have any of it. It's not like school was made for hooking up. And Esme thought it was healthy to be interactive with boys.

Rosalie acted a little different.

She gave a two-hour speech on how sex is wrong when you're too young and about underage drinking and all that. It got annoying immediately, but then Jasper reminded me that she loved and was just trying to protect me.

--And also that I would be on birth control for the rest of my high school experience.

"Beep!" sounded the car outside.

"I'm going!" I shouted back.

Vampires, ugh!

End of chp.1

Soooooooooooooooo what'd ya think? Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz review. EVERY ONE OF YOU COUNT! And thank you for whoever took the time to read this.

BTW, there r more plot lines coming up, because Edward and Bella dont get togeather when she's fourteen. (that's practically rape). Her first boyfriend will be Jacob, when Edward leaves her(for some other reason that will be explained later in the story), and she starts to mend from there. And when Edward comes back, well, you'll see...........................*mysterious music*

And if you haven't noticed, Bella's not as physically disabled as she is in the book. Actually, she's pretty athletic.(and not a complete sped). So that's different. And I'll also try to get everyone's POV in this. Because she develops a srtong relationship with ALL the cullens. (Well, except for Rosalie. She's a real bitch.) lol. "I hate humans!"

How did u like my new character? She's kinda like a replacement Renesmee. Except she killed her mom when she was born and doesnt even know it. Oh, well. It WILL be explained. When a certain vampire comes along..................da da da. :D

And again plzzzzzzzzz review. thx.
